Threshold Conference - Advanced

The Advance Conference is a four-day interactive immersion in prayer ministry for pastors, church teams, prayer leaders, college students, and/or anyone looking to expand their prayer life.

WHAT OTHERS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THRESHOLD INTENSIVE:

"Who can argue with the fact that 'Prayer is the work of God's people.' Yet if there's one thing that people feel guilty about, it's their prayer life. Today, there is an urgency in the air for God's people to return to prayer, both individually and corporately and the Threshold Intensive meets that need head on. As the Pastor of Prayer at Central Christian, Paul Covert comes with plenty of experience and practical helps so that individuals and churches alike can move forward in prayer for the sake of themselves, the world and the Kingdom of God."

"Threshold Intensive is a challenging time of inspiring times with God and your ideas on Prayer. You will probably spend more quality time in prayer and seeking God for direction in your prayer life and the prayer life of your Church then you have in the last couple of years. Come expectant and rested, you will be challenged in How you pray, why you pray, and how effective your prayer Life is. You will gain a new value for the power of prayer in your own life and in the "Untapped" power of a praying church. I attended twice and truly value those days I spent seeking God and challenging myself to go further in my own prayer life and to lead my church into a deeper understanding of a healthy and powerful prayer life. If you are leading Prayer in your church, you will benefit from this experience focused on Prayer."

"The Threshold Intensive was an amazing experience for me! It renewed my passion for prayer and gave many practical handles for growing a prayer ministry in the local church. In additions to Paul’s excellent teaching, you will hear from key staff and lay leaders at Central and be exposed to significant prayer leaders and ministries in the Phoenix area. The Threshold was some of the best money I have spent for a conference in a long time. If your heart beats for prayer, check out the Threshold Intensive!"

"The Threshold Intensive gave our prayer ministry the focus it desperately needed! Our prayer ministry had people who cared deeply about prayer, but lacked inspiration and direction. With Paul's experience, teaching, one on one coaching and practical template for an effective prayer ministry, our prayer ministry is now strengthening every area of our church. Before the Intensive we had a handful of people serving in our prayer ministry. Six months after the Intensive we now have nearly one hundred people connected in meaningful rolls in prayer ministry. The Threshold Intensive continues to pay dividends! One of the best decisions I have made as a Sr. Pastor was to send our Prayer Pastor to the Threshold Intensive. Paul Covert is an expert on prayer ministry in the local church and multisite prayer leadership. If your desire is to see prayer become part of the DNA of your church family, the threshold Intensive will be an answer to your prayers."
